The following charts are available for both Deep Visibility and Enforcement Agent types.

Agents Distribution
Figure 1: Agents Distribution

For each agent type, this page provides an overview and the health of registered agents including overall CPU overhead, bandwidth overhead, missed packets, OS/version distribution and agent upgrade status.

CPU Overhead Chart

The CPU Overhead chart provides an aggregated view of CPU overhead per core from all agents. Per-agent CPU Overhead is provided as part of the Workload Profile. This chart is only available for Deep Visibility and Enforcement Agent Types.

Bandwidth Overhead Chart

The Bandwidth Overhead chart provides aggregated stats of total bandwidth and bandwidth used by agents. Per-agent bandwidth overhead is provided as part of the Workload Profile. This chart is only available for Deep Visibility and Enforcement Agent Types.

Agent Health Chart

The Agent Health chart provides the number of active or inactive agents. Active agents are the ones checking in with config server for upgrade on regular intervals. The checking interval is 30 minutes. If we see that an agent has missed more than two check-in periods from an agent, it would be declared as an inactive agent.

Software Agent Updates to Latest Revision Chart

Every time an agent checks in with the config server, the agent would also provide its current RPM version. If an agent is configured to a specific version and is not able to update after 2 check-in periods, the agent would be declared as not able to upgrade to the latest version.

Agent Packet Missed Chart

In rare occasions when the traffic volume traversing a host is greater than the rate at which the agent is able to inspect, some packets are skipped from being analyzed. The number of missed packets and the corresponding agent name are displayed in this chart.

Agent Software Version and OS Distribution Charts

These charts show the agent version distribution and parent OS platform of all agents registered with the Secure Workload cluster.
